Inspired by the microwaved food thread, I was wondering if y'all wouldn't mind sharing simple and fairly inexpensive ways of jazzing up simple prepared foods (like boxed mac and cheese or instant mashed potatoes) if you know of any.
I'll start off: Western Omelet Ramen
-two packages of ramen (whatever flavor, i recently made this with beef flavor and it was pretty good) -two eggs -one large red or green pepper -one medium sized tomato
1)boil water 2) throw in noodles and veggies and cook according to directions 3) right before you turn off the stove, add in the eggs and stir with a fork 4)add sauce packets and eat!

I know I'm not the only one who misread the title.
For content:
1) Take a box of macaroni and cheese, and a bag of Mr. Noodles (or some equivalent), preferably the spice chicken flavour.
2) Boil the water as normal, and dump in the macaroni. When those are partially cooked, dump in the Mr. Noodles (they get too soggy if you put them in right away with the macaroni), saving the flavour packet on the side.
3) Wait until all noodles are soft, then strain as you normally would. Add some better and/or milk along with the cheese sauce, like you normally would with mac and cheese. When that's done, pour in the Mr. Noodles flavour packet & mix it in.
4) Enjoy your spicy mac and cheese. It's surprisingly good.

I have Burger King coupons. I also have a rather bizarre way of thinking. Your average stew contains meat, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, herbs and spices, and enough water to submerge everything.
These ingredients (except for the last two) are all found in your typical fast food hamburger combo.
I think you know where this is going. I'm going to attempt Whopper Stew this weekend. It will be either epic or disgusting.

Garlic Salt. Yes. You heard me. Garlic Salt. It goes well on EVERYTHING! Seriously. Try it. It works.

Ibs: Double Whopper (onions only, bun removed) French fries Can of diced tomatoes Various herbs, depending on mood Water Debating whether or not to add a can of mushrooms
Cut up meat, onions, and french fries. Combine ingredients, let simmer.
Like I said, this will either be awesome or terrible. Probably not in between.

Did anyone else read the title as something to do with jazz hands?

I read it as jizzing, personally. I think most did.

I couldn't wait any longer, y'all, here it is.
The Whopper Stew Experiment:
5:25 Retrieved Double Whopper and french fries from storage in the freezer. Defrosted both in the microwave.
5:28 Meat and fries now hot. Fries and onions have gotten very soft, but that's ok. Chop meat and cut up the longest fries. The patty bits are probably going to come apart, but that's ok.
5:30 Combine everything in saucepan--looks kinda nasty. Add plenty of water, bay, basil, parsley, oregano, a little seasoning salt, hint of pepper.
5:35 Fries still look kinda weird, but it's starting to smell somewhat edible.
5:43 Oh gods it smells like grease so bad. Add more basil and oregano to help cover the taste. Next time, I'm pressing some of the grease out of the patties before I do this (if there is a next time). Covered pan and removed from eye
5:55 SO MUCH GREASE D: Tasted it though, and it wasn't too nasty. I should be able to eat the stuff in another few minutes. It's certainly not for people who hate greasy foods, though.
6:00 Added a pinch of sea salt. Stew tastes...like a burger. In liquid form. So not too shabby!
6:15 Taking the plunge...Hey, not bad! Too greasy, but otherwise delicious. Next time, I'll try to drain the meat and fries of grease first. This recipe definitely has potential!
VERDICT: PARTIAL SUCCESS Again, if I'd drained the meat first, it would have been delicious, but as it is, it's a bit too greasy for my tastes.
